50 simple things all couples should do before their 50th anniversary

Dorky, cheesy and romantic things that should be on your relationship bucket list

Cheese alert. What's wrong with long walks on the beach? There's no problem with getting romantic once in a while to really feel the love, show the love and breathe it all in. You don't have to be bursting at the seems with lovey-dovey moves, but spurts of romance have never hurt anyone, which leads me to 50 totally simple tasks every couple should experience together. Worst case, you get some giggles out of it. Best case, you grow from it as a couple.

Let's begin:

Cuddle without sex

Have sex without kissing

Write a love letter on paper

Write poetry for each other (no one said it has to be PG poetry)

Actually take long walks while holding hands — today's busy-bee lifestyle requires it

Turn your phones off for a weekend

Make up without make-up sex

Eat a meal in silence

Say "I love you" without expecting to hear it in return

Have a naked day in bed

Cook a full meal for each other

Tell each other what you really think of each other's family (tread lightly with this one)

Get a couples massage (or mud bath, whatever you fancy more)

Skinny-dip, even if it's in your own backyard

Make a mixtape of songs that remind you of each other (OK, a Spotify playlist)

Have a pizza cook-off. Who creates the best topping concoction?

Take a cooking class together

Camping weekend! No phones allowed. Go into total tech detox mode.

Binge watch an entire show in one weekend together. Get snacks first.

Pay a visit to a sex toy shop, if only to talk about what interests you and what doesn't

Talk about what your greatest fear is — really talk about it

Try drawing each other (clothing optional)

Take a road trip on a Saturday without any prior plans

Play "never have I ever"

Get a little too drunk at someone else's wedding

Reflect on a piece of marriage advice you wish you never tried to follow (save this one for later in life)
